Regular Expression snippets to validate Google Analytics tracking code (in PHP, JavaScript)

readme.txt

First, I don't get the exact pattern from google explanation at http://code.google.com/apis/analytics/docs/concepts/gaConceptsAccounts.html#webProperty so I just make some assumptions here (please correct if mistaken):
- general pattern must be: UA-xxxx-yy
- case-insensitive chars (so it could be 'ua', 'uA', whatever)
- x (account number) must be a number and could be in range of 4-9 digits
- y (profile within account) must be a number and could be in range of 1-4 digits

function isAnalytics($str){
    return preg_match(/^ua-\d{4,9}-\d{1,4}$/i, strval($str)) ? true : false;
}
?>

Nice one.
Although php needs quote around the regex:

function isAnalytics($str){
    return preg_match('/^ua-\d{4,9}-\d{1,4}$/i', strval($str));
}

You can also simply cast the preg_match's result to a boolean instead:

return (bool) preg_match($code, strval($str));

You may also need to consider old tracking codes (e.g. UA-1234567), therefore the last portion is optional:

return (bool) preg_match('/^ua-\d{4,10}(-\d{1,4})?$/i', $str);
